I believe the decision you made was the best possible choice not only for you, but for Bleeker and your son. Rather than to jump into a quick and so called easy solution, you gave it time and thorough thought as all mothers should. You gave your son the chance at life and the chance of success. I am happy you brought all aspects into your decision rather than to take selfish action. You made the best choice possible and ultimately improved the lives of those around you.
You had the choice, and like all women should, you had the choice to terminate the fetus or give it a chance of life. This decision was yours and yours alone. Yes the father has say in all this but no father has to carry a child in him for eight to nine months. I am pro choice, and many see this stance as merely the side that kills innocent fetuses. To be pro choice is to support the idea that a woman has the choice to do what she pleases with the life inside her. Our upcoming president and his party would very much like to change this. He feels like people of higher power should have a say in what any woman does with herself, he somehow sees the right to have the choice is wrong. Conservatives believe that a baby should be born under all circumstances but they do not take into account the many dangers that women face when becoming of age such as rape. A man should have no say in what happens inside a woman’s body, once we let the president control what a woman does, that violates a woman’s privacy to where someone is making decisions based on their own views, not the mothers.
Now if Roe v. Wade is repealed, the decision on abortion will go back to how it once was, the state governments will determine whether it is illegal or not. Depending in what state a woman resides, that will have little effect or major consequences. A woman living in Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, etc. will have her right stripped away from her and will be forced to have the child under any circumstance, even if she is raped. The only way to exercise her right is to venture to another state, which is very unaffordable for some people, or to perform the abortion herself, the back alley way. Now in the 1950’s before Roe V. Wade, this was the predominant way a women would abort a fetus if it was illegal in the state. Some 200,000 to 1.2 million unsafe abortions were performed each year ranging from the coat hanger to the bleach injection. Some 700 people died in a year from unsafe abortion from bleeding or infection all because of the government not allowing a woman the right to have a safe abortion. It’s not like these women who died had the choice of going to another state as many were poverty stricken in those years. If Roe V. Wade is overturned, many women will resort to these many unsafe and horrific abortion techniques which can lead to death, they will have their right taken away from them, and a man in a white building will have the say in what a woman does with her body.
All in all, a woman should have the choice in what to do with her body, to take that decision away from her is a violation of her privacy. To be pro choice is not to support murder, it is to be in support of the right a woman has and should have for the rest of her life. Juno, I will never have to go what you went through, all I have to say is that you made the right and brave decision to give it thought and care.
